Stayed from June 16th - 24th with my wife at the Royal Service section, villa 52, one bedroom suite with jacuzzi. First and foremost, most of my review will be regarding the RS portion of the resort. We did go to each other pool (Tropical and Caribe) but our service was mostly performed by the RS staff. CHECK -IN At... more

Attended a wedding at the Paradisus Real (next door) and checked in to the Melia on Wednesday morning with 2 people in front of me and 2 clerks working, not even in my worst dream would I think it would take over 1hour to check-in. I'll skip over the details and let you fill lin the blanks - ants everywhere,... more

We traveled with another couple to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary and upgraded to Junior Service, which we never received! Upon arrival we were dropped at the main entrance and never told to go the the proper check-in area, our suite door did not lock and someone walk into our room, we had daily problems with our bathroom that required... more

My wife and I stayed at the Melia Caribe Tropical with our teenage daughter from June 13, 2008 until June 20th. Our room was located on the pool which is a highly recommended location. The pools (2) are large and very nice, with a swim up bars. An easy walk to the beautiful beach and steps from the buffet that... more

We went to the DR May 31-June 7th. It was a party of 12; 3 families of four. We got the Royal Service deal and we loved it. The private checkin..they gave us Presidentes while we waited...the rooms were centrally located with the restaurants, ect. The property was only at 50% when we arrived so that was nice. The Royal... more

June 12 - 17th. Not nearly long enough! On our day of departure, we tried to change our return tickets, but Spirit wanted over $1,000. Decided just to bite the bullet and come home. The resort was absolutley beautiful. It beat Beaches Turks & Caicos by a mile. The only other resort that comes close to it is Atlantis, and... more

I researched this vacation for MONTHS! We were having a (very small) destination wedding and wanted it to be perfect. I am VERY picky, as is my husband. The Room: We stayed in a royal service master suite. WOW! It was well worth the upgrade. The room was amazing with breathtaking views. The jacuzzi was nice to come back to... more

We visited Melia with our 3 kids (16, 9 & 5) and our friends and their 2 kids (11 & 7), after having stayed at Paradisus Punta Cana with just us two couples the year before. We got family jr. suites , which are right by the beach and pool. You cannot go wrong if you end up in buildings... more

The Room...Late check in, only one person at the Front Desk. Room requested was not ready. Gave us another room. The room was dirty and had roaches. Maintenance showed up late afternoon to spray the room. We were always short of towels and one day the housekeeper forgot the toilet tissue too, so we had to call for service. Housekeepers... more
